      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An 8-vCPU x86 instance featuring 32 GB memory and 479 GB local SSD storage for databases, web serving, and caching.

      Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i3g.2xlarge is a cloud server instance featuring 8 vCPUs on 4 physical Intel Xeon 8269CY cores running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 32 GB of RAM and 479 GB of local SSD storage. Designed with dedicated CPU allocation, the server maintains a 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio alongside a 3 Gbps baseline network interface. Benchmark results indicate balanced multi-core CPU and memory throughput, highlighted by a Geekbench multi-core score of 4,479 and 6.88 million Redis SET operations per second, alongside lower single-core execution speeds in stress-ng and gzip testing. The inclusion of integrated local SSD storage provides efficient read/write performance for database management and caching layers without external drive attachments. Tradeoffs involve reduced single-threaded throughput and modest LLM execution capacity, making the instance best suited for web serving, database hosting, and general application workloads requiring local storage access.

      Workload Profiles

      0.47Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
